At the age of five, the future Swami Vireshwarananda was blessed by Swami Vivekananda, later initiated by Sri Sarada Devi, and ultimately Sannyasa from Swami Brahmananda. Swami Vireswarananda went on to become the tenth President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He held that position for nineteen years, a tenure second only to Swami Brahmananda. This beautiful biographic essay, is enhanced by nearly 1000 pictures of the Swami and the people and places that accompanied him through his long life.
The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.
-Swami Vivekananda
